Nguyen Wins with Big Slick

Men Nguyen just won a small pot from Ian Frazer in what was a battle of the blinds.

(Hold'em)

Action folded around the table to Frazer in the small who completed the bet. Nguyen checked his option in the big and saw the flop come {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

A pair of checks sent the action to the turn -- {3-Diamonds} -- where Frazer led out with a 6,000 bet.

"Frazer bets 30,000," announced Tournament Director Jack Effel, before quickly correcting himself.

"I just about jumped out of my chair," said Frazer after hearing the erroneous announcement.

Nguyen made the call.

The river delivered the {3-Hearts} and Frazer fired once more, this time making it 18,000 to go. After a minute or two in the tank, Nguyen made the call and Frazer sent his cards straight into the muck, knuckling the table to let Nguyen know his hand was good.

Nguyen attempted to muck his hand as well, but Effel stopped him, explaining a hand must be shown in order for someone to win the pot. Nguyen obligatorily turned over {A-?}{K-?} for two pair, aces and threes.

"Now I know you try to steal," said Nguyen to Frazer after the hand.
